FORWARD FOLD uttanasana

Now that you know more anatomy than you probably need to, let’s address the brain more! How your brain interrupts the forward fold will determine how far it allows you to go.
A lot of people think the forward fold is determined from lower back flexion. Yet, you’re missing the first step if this is the case. –
HIP HINGE: teaching the body how to properly hinge at the pelvis, moving into an anterior pelvic tilt is the first step toward a better forward fold. Shift your weight into your heels, keep your spine neutral, and draw your hip bones into your thighs
SEGMENTAL FLEXION: gaining motor control through the entire spine will teach the brain how to fold through every segment rather than just the low back. –
GAIN STABILITY: if the brain thinks there is a lack of control and you could fall, it could restrict movement. Thanks to my handsome model, Lewis Howes, we made his stabilizing muscles work harder and changed his surface to calm the brain down when once back to standing ground. –
CORE CONTROL: by engaging in the core, we teach the spine to flex forward with control. This helps to tell the brain it is safe to flex forward and move toward the ground. Here, I have Lewis Howes pressing into the legs at various ranges while contracting the core to round the spine.
